RingMaster Bowls

Since buying my Ringmaster lathe about a year ago I’ve made over 100 bowls with different woods and configurations but this time I even surprised myself.The first bowl is beetle kill pine, yellow pine and a top ring of walnut and aromatic cedar 9 3/4” wide x 3” highThe second bowl is aromatic cedar, bkp, walnut and top ring of bkp and butternut 9 3/4” wide x 4’ highThe third bowl is bkp, walnut, butternut and top ring of walnut and oak 9 3/4” wide x 4’ high

Very interesting bowls, great grain patterns and contrasting colors. As I look at the three bowls, I keep trying to figure out how the pieces were cut and glued together to make these patterns. Perhaps you can photograph the glue-up sometime, I’d be curious to see that. Thanks for showing.

Thanks for the photos. After looking at them, I went to Google for a look at the Ring Master lathe, which I thought was a “typical” wood lathe. Not a lathe but rather a lathe accessory, and pretty cool tool at that. I found this video of it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2n4uY9oJ-tA

Thanks, happy turning.

Very nice. The ring kinda finishes them off. I really like the third one over to RH. Good job on the points matching and I like a lot of contrast. You are the RingMaster guru. He has been the guide to my somewhat success with RM segmented bowls and they are a lot of fun to make. Thanks Dick.
